Our ETO sterilisation service provides a flexible solution for manufacturers, healthcare providers and research organisations that need reliable low temperature sterilisation without the investment and ongoing costs of operating an in-house system.
Whether you require sterilisation for prototype devices, validation batches or routine production, we can process your products using validated Ethylene Oxide (ETO) sterilisation.

Why Choose Contract Sterilisation?

Outsourcing sterilisation allows organisations to benefit from validated low temperature processing without purchasing and maintaining their own sterilisation equipment. It is an ideal solution for low volume production, product development, validation testing and organisations with occasional sterilisation requirements.
